MEDICAL SERVICES IN MOSCOW
Western medical care in Moscow can be expensive, difficult to obtain, and not always comprehensive. Some facilities offer quality services, but many restrict services to normal business hours and/or to members or people willing to pay for services in advance. Acceptance of insurance in lieu of prepayment is rare. Most patients pay in cash and receive reimbursement from their insurance companies upon their return to the United States. State medical care is officially free of charge, but the quality of service ranges from unacceptable to merely uncomfortable. However, Russian doctors often demand payment for disposable needles, medications, and some services. There are no foreign- run in-patient clinics in Moscow but rather space rented by them in regular Russian hospitals with improved conditions. Medical evacuation to another country is an expensive option; the Embassy strongly urges all travelers who visit Russia to purchase traveler's medical insurance that includes coverage in the event that an evacuation is necessary.
In the event of an emergency, the U.S. Embassy will try to assist in arranging medical care for U.S. citizens. For assistance during working hours, please call 8 (495) 728-5577. After 6:00 p.m., please call the Embassy duty officer at 8 (495) 728-5000.
